and the best part of all....
T-Mobile has purchased rights to all over Cingular/ATT's 850mHz Spectrum allover the USA. THAT MEANS WE WILL BE THE BIGGEST NETWORK IN AMERICA!!!!!!!
KICK ASS!!!!!
And even if this is true, how exactly would this give T-Mobile the largest network in the US? Alot of their coverage right now is there thanks to roaming agreements with Cingular and possibly other smaller GSM carriers to use their 1900 band. T-Mobile is miles and miles away from having the largest network in the US.
And this whole deal with buyin...

So, I guess T-Mobile is hoping everyone will flock and get one so they could make use of the 850 band, that makes sense! lol, not really.
The bottom line is that T-Mobile is going to have absolutely nothing to do with the 850 band.
Yes, they'd gain alot more coverage. But who'd be making use of it? It seems T-Mobile offers one quad-band device. So for the people that would want to make use of that 850 band would have to go out and buy a phone from someone other than T-Mobile. Unless of course they changed their whole line-up to offer quad-band phones.
They would spend so much money on something they don't need and on something that wouldn't give them that great of returns. And I'm sure T-Mobile is about making a profit, not losing money.
Besides, T-Mobile gives all their customers ($34.99 a month and higher) a new handset every eleven months. That means it would only take 11 months to replace every customers handset with one that could take advantage of an expanded...

Would it be totally unreasonable that T-Mobile began offering 850 Mhz handsets? They aren't more expensive. I think they actually have to reprogram phones from certain manufacturers to make them 900 Mhz compatible. Adding another frequency all together is only slightly more expensive. I'm not saying I believe that T-Mo is going to strike a network deal with Cingular, because I don't think it makes business sense for Cingular, but it's not that outrageous or expensive of a concept for T-Mobile to implement.

The only thing that concerns me, and I think someone stated it before, is that T-Mobile getting this close to Cingular could smell like another "merger" to some folks. And I like T-Mobile just the way it is (except they need high speed, network-wide data and that's it).

All the listed Motorola phones are quad band.

McCracken is absolutely right. Sure it says quad-band, but if you've ever noticed, Cingular is the one that carries the quad-band versions of those phones, not T-Mobile. Go to tmobile.com and see for yourself, click on the specs of any of those phones isted above and you'll clearly see they are only tri-band.
Again, my friend you are mistaken. though currently in the U.S. T-Mobile operates in the 1900mhz band, our phones that are listed as "quad band" DO indeed have that active frequency of 850. At this time, the only use for it is pocket roaming which goes as such: If a customer has a quad band handset, and is in a roaming area, when moving about, a tower "handoff" may be to a...

The Motorola phones Cingular offers are quad-band. T-Mobile doesn't offer any quad-band phones. And if they do, please point out which one. 🙂
To name a few V600, Hp ipaq h6315, BB 7100t, the new BB 7290 (?) that is coming out.
Also, some of our phones such as the Nokia 6010, nokia 6800, Ngage, support 850 as well, but only as a dual band, and to my knowledge the Mot C650 we have is not the eurasion model, which means that it is a tri-band phone supporting 850/1800/1900.
I spoke with a Sr. Manager today at work, for a project I've been asked to work on, but I did ask out of curiosity about this 850mhz rumor. He said it is true. We have been testing it for some time he a...
(continues)
The N-Gage QD offered by T-Mobile is tri-band, 900/1800/1900.
And the Motorola C650 also is a tri-band phone, 900/1800/1900.
They made no specifications about the Nokia 6800 and 6010.
The only phones you are correct about are the 7100t and the iPAQ.
If I may ask, where are you getting your imformation from? (and I'm being serious, not trying to be a butt at all, so please don't take it that way)
HeroPsychoDreamer said:
I'm getting my information straight from T-Mobile's website.
Well, I see that, now. However, I wonder why it's not advertised unlike others. That band is supported, with all of our device matrix's, and simulators, as well as any specific specs you look up. Also, it is listed as compatible for pocket roaming, and when put side by side in comparison is still listed as quad band.
I also did some internet reserch, and motorola markets it as a quad band phone, too. However, a lot of people from what I'm reading got confused when it was heavily marketed as a quad band handset, and that sparked some big debates about 1900 vs. 850. I assume it was taken off the website to avoid furth...

bizkitsngravy said:You're not crazy. The 600 was indeed quad band. Moto and Tmobile decided on one of the radios being disabled.
Ok...I don't stick my foot in my mouth too often but I was wrong on the v600...I'm at work looking at the models now. Also I made a mistake on the c650-we have the eurasion version which is 900/1800/1900. All others I was correct on, and also on pocket roaming. (I swear though at one point the v600 was featured as quad-band) oh well. I must be going crazy....sorry for all the hoopla,folks.
By the way, has anybody else noticed how the exclusion of that 850 band has made all the difference? The Cingular/ATT version of this phone sucked (I have one, and trust me it sucks) but my T-Mobile V600 is really a great handset. I haven't heard anybody else complaining about the T-Mobile version either.
JDigital said:I've used a friend's 600 on Tmobile's network, and it's butter smooth. Possibly the best voice quality I've ever experienced.
I think technically maybe it is still quad-band, although it isn't usable that way because of the 850 Mhz band being disabled. If that is the case, then he and Starr are both right. 😉

regarding v600 quality:
also, I think the call quality is pretty "muffled" on it, I reallyVERY slowly on all v600s ive used. if someone calls, it takes a couple seconds to answer after its flipped open (i dont use the auto answer on open feature since I like to screen calls and shut the lid when i dont want to take the call..this silences the ringer)
its also the least reliable phone ive ever used.. I reutrned one due to it all of sudden never getting any signal when other tmobile phones were (realized it was the phone after no service for a few days), then i returned the replacement they sent (after 2 weeks since it was on backorder.. apparant...

If true will the 7PM nights apply only to new customers/new contracts or will it be applied to currently customers under contract?
*If* it is true it will be the customer's responsibility to ask for the new rates. Many people are still on the $39.99 600 a/t minute plan when they can for the same money now get 1000 minutes for the same amout of money. To get the newer rate they need to call to get it.
guitarman21 said:
You don't get nights with the 1000 $39.99 plan though.
But for the same money as you were paying for the 600 minutes anytime you can now get 1000. That's a significant difference for no extra money. You will only get that if you call in and ask for that. It won't automatically be given to you. Unless you ask for it you won't get it. I still don't see how some people can talk that long since over the holidays I was barely able to talk 1000 minutes and making an effort to do it.

SOME of the bullet points we discussed were EXACTLY covering the topic of which the origional post stated. There was a 2 hour meeting for us CSR's, and they also brought in Retail reps for a similar meeting from around the city.
To my understanding Robert Dodson is traveling around with everyone visiting various locations and holding similar discussions. The point it to find out what we need to do better (for our customers) in the eyes of the front line employees.

Yes they do. Already has been discussed on this thread-We've already been through the V600, I'm not going to go there...T-Mobile's has the inate function, but from my understanding it's disabeled. We have the ipaq which is 850 enabeled, BB7100t, the upcoming 7290 is quad band, Treo 600, and also the Nokia 6010 and Ngage are single/dual band which support 1900 and 850.

PROPS to all of you that didn't belive it in the first place. What makes you think that T-Mo will ever be a contender between Cingular and Verizon? Anyways, you can go back to hating me and living your pathetic little lives. 😈 😈 😈
P.S. - Cingular will always be better than sh*tty T-Mobile.....always. 👿
P.S.S - I like the "swiss-cheese" coverage maps...great touch.
this forum should be shut down ASAP to ban such idiots
that's all you can do
everybody else got fooled by you such troll, but I didn't
your BU??SH?? is too good to be true, I already known your information is COMPLETELY MISLEADING

The blackberry 7100T and HP IPAQ 6315 are quad band devices. 1900/1800/900/850. This benefits T-Mobile in the long run to purchase this spectrum, versus paying whatever it is they pay Cingular wireless for roaming agreements. HELLO, Smart business decision! Get More!
Hello! T-Mobile can't purchase this spectrum. The only way they can is if they purchase a cellular (800) provider. For most of the US the cellular provider is either Verizon (CDMA) or cingular (GSM.) Unless T-Mobile purchases cingular (highly unlikely) T-Mobile will *never* have their own cellular "850" spectrum.

WHO IS NUMBER 1? T-Mobile has THREE differnet providers that they would have to buy or beat to be number 1. As we all know there is no way that tmobile will ever beat any of those above them.

That just show how much you know! 🙄 So your saying that T-Mobile can't EVER be #1 because we aren't #1 now? WoW! you really are ignorant! 🤣 T-Mobile can and will be #1. So zip it, you moron! The fact is Cingular isn't the best. I don't care what the hell you say! Just because they have little more bigger coverage than T-Mobile doesn't make them the best. Cingular's plans suck! Thier Customer service suck. I don't think they even really care about what their customers want. So how about YOU take that pill and shove it! 🙂

AberFitchDuDe87 said:Let me reiterate. Tmobile is in NO position to attain the number one spot in the U.S. any time soon or in the near future.

AberFitchDuDe87 said:So, what are we talking about, Sky Captain? 20 yrs? 55 yrs? Stop acting like a little fanboy in love with an inanimate thing and suck it up. Tmobile doesn't have the resources to be number one in the U.S. In fact, it's not even in their agenda to do so. They've found their niche, and it's where they're going to work for the time being.
Ok! Well, that's YOUR opinion. Also I never said they could be #1 in the "near future", I said in the future!

actually, youll be borrowing off of cingulars network. cingular still has the biggest network. you guys just get to play with it for a bit. at the end of the day, all your doing is mooching off something ya'all couldnt afford. go back to your little local plans.....let the REAL wireless giants run things k? thanks. buh bye now.
